Doesn't the camera flash at you and say "no SD card"??

Why would a warning message slow down a heli pilot?

Thre is usually a setting in the menu that asks if you want to allow shooting without card.  Change that to "no".  Problem solved.

"I drove down the lane and wrecked four trees just because i could. Then I came up to my gate. A gate that is probably 8-9 feet wide. The tracks on this thing are 12 feet wide. So, screw it, I just plowed over the west side and crushed it flat. Made a pleasing sound."


Well, now one should be able to get a trailer down the lane without too much pucker factor!  That WAS a nice fence post you took out with the tracks if I remember correctly!  Well, now you can build a fancy wrought iron gate to replace it!

I think the cab either swung into an obstacle bending this up, or possibly with the additional length of the bucket coupler, the bucket curl may have gotten into the cab..?

Anyway, I think this is a scar. Worthy of a fresh coat of paint, but not of straightening.

What say ye? Paint and call it a day, or lavish on the body work, cracking the lower glass and losing a week digging time in the process?
Probably grabbed a log wrong. It happend to my brother once. A big branch came through that bottom pane of glass. He about lost a foot.

Well, in the past three days I have run 40-50 gallons of diesel through the exhaust, trading all that smoke for a pretty big hole.

Remember that little mud hole I created when Sarge broke through some gooey mud and the hole started to fill?

Well that all has changed drastically

Then I went on a fluid level check

The engine was exactly on full with the freshly changed oil, which was still clean.

I found the hydraulics tank to be low, so I topped that up. Before opening the tank, you have to relieve pressure with this button. THen you unbolt the return filter cap and pour the fresh oil in there. I added 4 gallons to put it in the middle of the normal range with the boom in the "Maintenance position."

All in all it was in pretty good shape. Despite pressure washing all the compartments were still filthy. I think I'll start spraying in some simple green and let it soak for while then see what I can wipe off, I don't want to get too close to the expensive sensors

^^^ All that is about to get treated to some fresh enamel paint

Next I went after leaks. The leaks on the cylinders have disappeared...as in not leaking anymore!

But the hydraulic bucket coupler hose was loose almost everywhere. I fixed that by disconnecting it and just looping a single hose from supply back to return. That almost fixed the worse leak on the machine

^^^That was the before pics. I wiped that down, rerouted the hoses and ran it. The area was just a tad moist, no drips.

I ran 40+ gallons of fuel through it digging that big hole and after two days and all that digging the fluid level remained in the middle of the sight glass.

I plan to go over all the connections, replacing questionable lines and all the "O" rings I can find. I want it leak free, although having flown Chinooks, I know the reality of that dream!

Don, you now have just about every piece of ground clearing equipment you need. Choose wisely and just maybe the stuff will hold up a bit longer. Now that you can widen the entrance road, buy  gravel delivered. Much cheaper than trying to maintain a dump truck.

Chief has been sitting for about 10 days and I am happy to report that no new leaks have showed up!

I am accumulating some of the stuff I will need to clean/paint it. First up will be a soaking with a good detergent to sofen the grease/oil deposits. I picked up a cheap 2 gallon sprayer. I plan to spray the oily areas after use for a week or so, then wipe the residue out, then follow that with a light hosing off. I just want to get it clean so I can check for leaks and start the sanding/repairs prior to painting.

Chief has been working well. But as with most things mechanical, it is always getting ready to break down, is broken down, or is being repaired. For the most part it is one working machine.

I stopped excavation of the main pond, pending repair of Sarge which I use to move the dirt about which Chief oh so readily creates. So I used it to clear off about a quarter-half acre of trees around an old pond. Then I mucked out said pond producing mountains of gooey gray mud which I suspect is nutrient rich. Either that or it is solidified DDT and Uranium waste, but I'm willing to take a chance.

I will spread it out on the fields once it dries out some and I have the means to actually spread it out.

So the hydraulic bucket coupler seems to be a problem area. It will leak sometimes, and sometimes the lines loosen. I recently had all new fittings made up. I'll be installing them next

I then attached new lines with 90 degree fittings which completed the installation. The new setup loosened once when i first started using it, then settled down and is A-OK now.

Amongst my 55 other open and on-going projects, I still want to slap a new coat of paint onto Chief.

Today I sprayed some degreaser onto its innards and underards, on the dog, and in my eyes. The concept it to just leave the whole thing open to nature and let the rain wash it after the degreaser works for awhile. I'll come back and clean the litter that softens up and repeat, then finally either pressure wash it or bring in a professional heavy equipment cleaning crew. Following that will be sanding, then painting.

The red circled area is a bit of a problem. It obviously needs to be straightened out, but the problem is that the steel if fairly thick, so it's going to be a tad bit of work. After cleaning around some I started to loosen the hinge bolts, but ran into a stubborn nut, so instead of risking breaking it off, I'll let some penetrating oil do its thing for awhile.

Sanding you ask?

How?? Me??

Answer: Hungry high school kids!

Bring em down to the farm, give em a sander, limit their food until night and pay them $8 an hour. Cell phones do not work all that well, so we will all just sand away, well they will. I'll do repairs, then I'll feed them at night, then offer them a cot in the upstairs of the shed, then repeat the following day. That should get it and them thoroughly done and get me ready for some fresh paint.

My friend, that is exactly what I am going to do.

Since it is rounded, I think, I'll go buy a section of .125 wall 4" pipe, then cut a quarter round out of it, cut the bad piece out, then weld in the new section.
Cause me to purchase a new welder...Can anyone say Don's gonna get a gas powered stick welder???

The repair of the door is basically the same thing. I plan to straighten it, then cut out the majority of the bent sheet, then weld a section of 11 gage over the whole surface, with another section of quarter round cut from a pipe onto the top. Add some cooling holes and a M4 mount and 30 round magazine storage and I'm G-T-G

But don't order it before I know how much it costs. Also, while were at it, I went out looking for a good used door. All I found was a  new old stock one costing $850! You know of anything better?

Frankly, I think repairing the old one would be simple enough, but of course, I'd like to get the machine in as good shape as possible.

Think we were all thinking the same thing here about the repair (at least not to burn it down). Chief is a healthy rig and should look better.

Maybe put a small solar panel on it for those new batteries?

OK, so today, I pressure washed the machine for the first time

It took a couple of hours, and the previously applied grease cutter had some effect, but not enough

So

This will be the first stage of a two stage washing

THis is a 2001 machine, and it hasn't always been garage kept!

(Joke there...Get it...These machines get parked in mud pits for decades, they won't even fit into a garage)

I'm messin' with ya!

Geeze!

Anyway after allowing the grease cutter to soak in for a week, it had actually dried to a crust about 30 minutes after I applied it and had no additional effect!

But look at how this battery compartment transitioned:

Then I allowed that to air dry for most of a sunny and 73F day, then coated it heavily with lizard skin to control that rust.
You know, normally I may replace that rusty metal, but, with Chief, I think not. I think I'll just do what I can with it, then move on. I want this machine to produce. I think prepping the battery compartment against future rust/corrosion with a sealer is good, but going further is not a wise use of my available time

Oh Great, IPPRID (I-Phone pics rotational instability disorder)!

I despise technology

Anyone else with me?

Who thinks its fair to have a hunting season on software designers?

Not talking about a 6 bag limit or anything like that, just one or two a day, with a limit of say, 10!

Fair? I think so...

There is a reason

CARREP: Apparently, and I checked my Cannon owners manual, but the camera is not designed for pressure washing it would appear.
